The creation of the unitary patent is designed to offer major opportunities for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to ensure cheaper EU-wide protection of their intellectual property. This will allow for an easier buy-in of the unitary patent system by SMEs. This action intends to facilitate access for SMEs to an effective protection and enforcement of their intellectual property by informing them about the benefits of using IP rights and about the opportunities linked with this new unitary patent, and by reimbursing some of the associated cost of using the new unitary patent.
